    dark tan on tan and white on tan is hard to read. I'm on a mac so it is fainter than a pc.

    I love the design I think it's perfect.

    One thing could look nice to experiment with diff. fonts instead of verdana. Try Lucida Grande on. I have a style set I developed for the css so lucida grande can use bold and italic and look good on pc and ie too!

    here it is:

    font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;

    strong, em, b, i { font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; }

      Thanks for the feedback Daina, your not the first to mention the font. At this point the font will probably stick but for my next site I'll be sure and not use Verdana :)
